Endometriosis has been recognized as
one of the possible causes for infertility.
If endometriosis occurs more often in a
women who uses tampons comparing
to those who do not, it is an important
point of discussion to the m odern
women and nurses.
Resent research (van Rijswijck & Botha,
1997) indicated that a correlation between
the use of tampons during menstruation
and endometriosis exists. It
seems that an educational program, by
primary health care workers, indicating
the potential dangerous effects of tampon
use will lower the incidence of endometriosis,
thus the problems with infertility
could lesson and optimal health
care to women could be improved.Health Studie
